Blankets of Hope is an educational nonprofit that helps students practice empathy and kindness in an impactful community service learning experience. My fifth grade students participated in Blankets of Hope's video workshop which focuses on empathy and kindness. Students wrote cards of encouragement and care to attach to blankets to be given to people in need in our community. The blankets will bring warmth and the cards will bring messages of hope and let the person receiving the blanket know that someone is thinking of them.
I think it is so important to teach children about ways they can care for others and make an impact in their communities. This is the third year my 5th grade students have participated in Blankets of Hope. The holiday season is a great time for students to think of others and how they can make someone's day better. Blankets of Hope also has a 21-Day Kindness Challenge for students.
Round Rock Area Serving Center serves people who are living out of their cars or are on the streets. I delivered the blankets and cards to the Round Rock Service Center this week. They were thankful to receive them.
Blankets of Hope is making a difference in communities all across the country. There are currently over 20,000 students on the BOH waitlist. Donations help keep Blankets of Hope going and able to have their workshop impact student's lives. Please click the logo below to find out more about Blankets of Hope and how you can help
